Mental Health disorders such as depression and generalized anxiety affect millions of people in
the United States. The etiology of mood disorders is profoundly complex and consists of many
contributing factors.
There can be a variety of underlying causes behind mental health symptoms. Such elemental
causes are often underappreciated and undertreated. Physiologic body based root causes such
as inflammation, immune function, infections, imbalanced hormones, nutritional deficiencies,
and toxins or pollutants can each influence emotional and mental health.
The brain orchestrates the delicate and complex interconnection between the body and the
mind. Addressing possible prime causal factors and using lifestyle techniques such as exercise,
dietary changes and mind-body techniques can help balance the nervous system and optimize
mental health.
